Coding style

Use these tools to find and fix issues.

• Use clang-format to format the code.
• Use clang-tidy to check the code for other potential issues.

Follow these guidelines while writing code.

• Indentation : 2 spaces, no tabulation
• Opening brace at the end of the line
• Naming : Choose self-describing variable name
  • class : PascalCase
  • namespace : PascalCase
  • variable : camelCase, no prefix/suffix (_, m_,...) for class members
• Include guard : #pragma once (no #ifdef __MODULE__ / #define __MODULE__ / #endif)
• Includes :
  • files from the project : #include "relative/path/to/the/file.h"
  • external files and std : #include <file.h>
  • use includes relative to included directories like src, not relative to the current file. Don't do: #include "../file.h"
• Only use primary spellings for operators and tokens
• Use auto sparingly. Don't use auto for fundamental/built-in types and fixed width integer types, except when initializing with a cast to avoid duplicating the type name.

  // Examples:
  auto* app = static_cast<DisplayApp*>(instance);
  auto number = static_cast<uint8_t>(variable);
  uint8_t returnValue = MyFunction();
  

• Use nullptr instead of NULL
